Will Smith may have found himself in the spotlight a lot recently. With the Oscar ban and the actor’s upcoming film, it was surprising that he has kept himself busy, even though it was with social media. But it looks like the actor’s social media game may need some upping, considering that he has just gone viral for a four-year-old video. As the actor usually posts funny pictures of himself, he may want to think about switching his channel’s focus.

Recently, Will Smith made his way onto a Michael Jackson fan page. The page shared a post from the actor’s YouTube, that featured the story time of Smith meeting The King of Pop for the first time. However, the second users saw the post, all hell broke loose. While some fans were excited about the story time, others did not seem as interested. But one thing was evident, the entirety of Twitter users seemed to love Michael Jackson.

While fans of Will Smith could only focus on the fact that he was an amazing storyteller, others were quick to jump in to say how they wished it was them instead. But the throwback comes 14 years after the passing of Michael Jackson and it proves that his legacy has continued to live on even after he was gone. However, watching your idol admire his idol seems like something people only dream of.

After Will Smith’s story time was reposted, the internet lost its mind, and for good reason. The actor’s recollection of the incident seemed like something out of a Fresh Prince episode.

Will Smith fans lose their minds over Michael Jackson’s story

Michael Jackson was one of the biggest musicians and dancers of his time and Will Smith’s video proves that most people still have a soft spot for the Grammy winner. However, the new story piqued everyone’s curiosity about whether it was true or not. While fans may never find out the real answer to that question, at least they have another good story to remember Jackson by.

Some fans seemed to be lost in the way Will Smith, who recently had an unexpected visitor, managed to tell his story. Everyone knew he was talented, but it seems like fans are being shown new sides to the actor. However, there were a few individuals who focused on the humor of the situation.

There were a few users who implied that Will Smith was lying about the entire meeting, which seems a little absurd as the video ended with a picture of the actor with Michael Jackson.

While we may not know how much of the story is true, fans have to give Will Smith credit where it is due. And it is definitely due after the actor blessed us with such exquisite storytelling. And even if it is not true, at least fans of the actor have things to watch while they wait for the next big project.
